Resistor 0.25W 1.5 ohm (10 pcs)

The Resistor 0.25W 1.5 ohm is a low-value axial resistor with a resistance of 1.5 Ω and a power rating of 0.25 W, sold in a pack of 10. Because its voltage drop is small, it is used to sense current, stabilise transistor stages and add a controlled amount of resistance without wasting much of the supply voltage.

Resistor 0.25W 1.5 ohm Specifications

• Resistance: 1.5 Ω, a standard E12 value
• Power rating: 0.25 W (1/4 W)
• Maximum current at full power: about 408 mA
• Voltage drop: 0.15 V for every 100 mA flowing through it
• Type: fixed resistor, axial leads, through-hole
• Fits: breadboards, perfboards and PCBs
• Pack size: 10 pieces

Resistor 0.25W 1.5 ohm Applications

• Current sense resistor for monitoring load current with a microcontroller
• Emitter resistors in amplifier and driver stages
• Series resistors in low-voltage circuits
• Parallel combinations for lower values such as 0.75 Ω
• STEM labs and electronics classes

What's in the Box

• 10 × 1.5 Ω 0.25 W resistors

Tip: Two 1.5 Ω resistors in parallel give 0.75 Ω and share the heat, for a combined rating of 0.5 W. Use this trick with resistors from the same pack when you need a lower-value or higher-power shunt.
